I Guess a Refund is Out of the Question
Monday, January 31st, 2005John Kerry still has millions of dollars left over from his presidential run.
I doubt any of those Kos-ian donors will be getting a refund check in the mail.
New Blog – Boxer Watch
Monday, January 31st, 2005One of this blog’s thread barons, Elisa, has started up a new blog: Boxer Watch.
And, in light of Babs’ recent actions — “decertify the results,” the tears, the hair style from Planet Egg Beater — who can blame her for doing so?
Additionally, Elisa is looking for bloggers to help with the site. So, if [...]
Super Prez I
Monday, January 31st, 2005OK, here it is: George “Father of Our Country” Washington versus Ronald “Won the Cold War” Reagan.
The run-up has been great fun for everyone, and here is the title match, football style. The voting begins right now, and will run through Sunday night. Only one vote per person, e-mail address, or I.P. [...]

Sickening
Monday, January 31st, 2005I remember hearing a report yesterday about an individual thought to have Down’s Syndrome being somehow related to one of the bombings in Iraq, but heard nothing else about it until Polipundit reader, Jill, emailed me the link to this story.
Hillary Collapses

You May Already Be Hearing Some Of These
Monday, January 31st, 2005Lifelike Pundits has a list of new reasons to “dis” Iraq. The last one is my favorite. While there, check out the site. (Warning: there are some goofy John Kerry pictures posted. And, yes, I know that most John Kerry pictures are goofy.)
The Elections Highlight Diminishing Power Of The Bad Guys
Monday, January 31st, 2005As usual, Bill Roggio writes eloquently. This time about the Iraqi elections and the underwhelming succes of the bad guys in disrupting them.
Social Security Quote of the Day
Monday, January 31st, 2005Today, Social Security is strong. But by 2013, payroll taxes will no longer be sufficient to cover monthly payments. And by 2032, the trust fund will be exhausted, and Social Security will be unable to pay out the full benefits older Americans have been promised.
The best way to keep Social Security a rock-solid [...]
The View From Saddam’s Jail Cell
Monday, January 31st, 2005I have a friend who doesn’t follow politics, but she watches the news some. Yesterday she told me she hoped that Saddam Hussein’s jail cell had a television in it and that he was forced to watch the people of his country vote all day. If he had he would have listened [...]

North Korea
Monday, January 31st, 2005Is the North Korean regime disintegrating? Here’s 4 pages of argument that say it is.

A Letter From the “Third Front”
Sunday, January 30th, 2005I recently received an e-mail from a buddy of mine — “K-Dawg,” as he’ll be known for purposes of this blog.
He’s a Desert Storm veteran, a commissioned officer, and a U.S. Army Reservist, who recently was called back into action — and thereby out of his cushy job beating plaintiff’s attorneys senseless down in Southern [...]
